Monaco’s Lacina Traore set for another Everton loan spell

Everton will approach Monaco about the possibility of taking striker Lacina Traore on loan for the whole of next season.

The 6ft 8in Ivory Coast international spent the second half of the campaign with the Toffees only to feature just once due to injury.Traore is understood to be keen to head back to Goodison Park with first-team opportunities at big-spending Monaco likely to be limited.

Everton are also understood to be keen to take advantage of the loan market to boost his midfield options with a season-long deal for either Saul Niguez or Josuha Guilavogui from Atletico Madrid in the offing.
